More than just your major…

General Education

These courses broaden your horizons and ensure a well-rounded education that allows you to excel in three key areas: 1. knowledge of the cultural and natural world, 2. intellectual and practical skills, and 3. personal and social responsibility. And our unique approach gives you the flexibility to choose general education courses that often meet requirements in your major.

ROTC

Along with leadership experience and preparation to serve your country, ROTC offers great opportunities for adventure. In addition to indoor rock climbing and firing an M-16 rifle, for example, you may find yourself jumping out of airplanes, rappelling out of helicopters, or training with cadets from the United Kingdom. | More about ROTC

Mike Tracy! He takes the time to single out each individual and give you the needed attention… Within the first week, he knew my name! I can easily talk to him, and he makes the material so understandable… I really enjoy it…
